I am a 3rd-year graduate student. After graduation, I want to pursue the 3 years BA LLB course from Calcutta University. Can I? If yes then what are my eligibility criteria? Can you please give me the information on this? Awaiting for the answer.

It's not possible to pursue 3 Years LLB course from Calcutta University now, as it has been already migrated to 5 years integrated course. Currently most of the Universities shifted or migrated to 5 years integrated course, any how only some of the Universities are providing 3 years LLB course.

So, you can choose another University to pursue 3 years LLB course after completion of graduation.

In Calcutta University (CU), BA LLB - 5 years integrated course is available, which includes bachelor degree. But you have already completed it, there is no point in pursuing it again.

Eligibility for 3 years LLB course,
1. Should be Graduate
2. 45% minimum required for general category, 5% relaxation for SC/ST category (It may vary depends upon University)
3. Upper age limit is 30 years, 5 years relaxation for SC/ST category

Yes a graduate candidate with minimum 55% can pursue LLB 3 year course where there is no age restriction . Will recommend you to qualify the CLAT exam for admission in Kolkata University .

The very first thing I would like to let you know that Calcutta University does not offers BA LLB course of three years and hence no question of procedure for admission in the same.

Further it offers BA LLB course of five years for which the minimum educational qualification required is a higher secondary school degree with 40% marks from a recognized board of education.

For details about various courses offered by Calcutta University and their corresponding admission criteria you can refer to the link www.caluniv.ac.in.

B.A LLB is five year duration course and required minimum qualification to get admission in course is candidate must have passed 12th from a recognised board.

LLB is three year duration course and candidate passed bachelor degree in any discipline are eligible to get admission in course.

But, Calcutta university does not offers LLB course ( 3 year ). So, either you have to pursue 5 year B.A LLB course or have to take admission in other university in LLB course.

Calcutta University faculty of Law offers only two courses :

B.A LLB ( 5 years duration ).

LLM ( 2 years duration ).

So, you are not eligible to get admission in three years LLB course in the university.

For admission in other universities required qualification to get admission in the course is bachelor degree in any discipline.

But, candidates have to qualify in entrance examination or come under the merit list for final admission in the course.
